what does this mean?
its just saying that different types of texts like film, books, poetry can shape our view on the idea of journey

What am i required to do?
can u give us the whole the question, because so far it is a statement. ur not required to do anything

how can this interpreted for imaginative journeys?
you could say that different texts styles can stimulate the mind of the reader therefore taking the reader beyond physical boundaries. say a book cover - ivory trail (images of sphinx and pyramids triggers the imagination as much detail of the egyptian culture remains shrouded in mystery and speculation)
